Head of programming ABC1 and ABC2 Brendan Dahill said: “Jimmy Fallon has taken the US by storm since replacing Jay Leno, and we’re delighted to be bringing his new brand of The Tonight Show into Australian homes five nights a week on ABC2. He’s a massive star in the States, and with his offbeat comedy style and a great mix of guests and music, we know our audiences will love The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”.
Fallon has taken the program, which is a Universal Television and Broadway Video production, back to New York where it’s filmed in front of a live audience in the Studio 6B at the NBC Studios, Rockefeller Centre.
The nightly line-up includes A-list interviews; stand-up and musical guests and the famous opening monologue .

Dear Mumbrella,
Correction. “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” has been on Australian TV screens since it began last month. It screens nightly at 11.00pm on FOXTEL’s Comedy Channel and is shown “Day and date” with the U.S. The ABC broadcasts are on two days delay, so may I suggest they change the title of their version to “The Tonight Show from 2 days ago with Jimmy Fallon!”
